Join student tour guides Paul Tamburro and Kaitlin Hao as they chat about how objects come into museums. They take a critical look at the ways that some objects make their way into museum collections, who has the rights to "own" these objects, and how can museum display detract from your ability to understand the way that an object was originally situated.
